HC Davos

Thursday 20.08.2015, 20:00 • Löfbergs Arena, Karlstad • Champions League • Group 5

		Welcome. Game starts at 20:00.
		The first puck drop of the CHL 15/16 is approaching and one of the most exciting match ups in the first round could be this one, between Färjestad BK (FBK) of Sweden and HC Davos (HCD) of Switzerland. The Group E is the one with most championship titles. A total of 41 run over Davos, Färjestad and Pardubice, so it will be a real 'clash of the champions' throughout this group stage. Players to keep an eye on in this particular game could be Robbie Earl (FBK), who have spent his last three seasons in Switzerland, and Marcus Paulsson (HCD), who played for FBK between 2009-2013 to win the swedish championship twice. These players are expected to deliver for their teams, among many other great players on both sides. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Champions Hockey League.

		The players are back on the ice after warm up, and the first puck drop is less than a few minutes away.
	00:01	Game started.
	01:10	A good chance for HCD but Haugen denied it.
	02:34	HCD player Jan Brejcak gets penalised two minutes for holding.
	04:44	FBK established some good pressure in the power play but weren't able to score. HCD are playing with full strength.
	06:42	Power break.
	07:39	A big hit from "the norwegian nightmare" Tollefsen (FBK) on one of HCD's forwards.
	09:02	HCD player Heldner gets penalised two minutes for holding.
	09:52	No big chances thus far from FBK in this power play.
	10:36	..until now when Holös unleashed his huge slapshot from the slot, but Genoni came up big and saved it with his pads.
	11:03	A few good chances in the end of the power play but no score for the home team. HCD plays with full strength.
		Power break. Not very much to report from the last few minutes. A lot of tries back and forth but none of the teams are close to enter the goal sheet right now.
		FBK goalie Haugen gets penalised two minutes for tripping.
	14:34	HCD are putting great pressure on FBK. Some good chances immediately in the power play. One was a deflection just outside the post.
		HCD captain Ambühl went coast-to-coast and almost found a pass to a teammate to give him an open net. Now, however, FBK is back on full strength.
	18:00	Two minutes left of the period.
	19:32	HCD with some final attempts at the end of the period, and one shot in the post by Schlaepfer.
	20:00	1st period finished.
		The first period is over and it's a scoreless one. FBK started off the period a little better than HCD and had a few good chances in their two power plays. In the end of the period, HCD came up strong though and hit the post in the final minute. We'll be back in about 15 minutes.
		The players have re-entered the ice and the puck is about to drop.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
	20:26	HCD player Walser gets penalised two minutes for hooking.
	21:31	FBK has some trouble getting the offensive to work.
	21:58	..but there's a good chance for Eriksson-Ek (FBK), but Genoni holds it.
	21:58	HCD player Brejcak gets penalised two minutes for roughing. FBK will play 5-on-3 for 28 seconds.
	22:24	Goal for Davos! ANDRES AMBÜHL with a backhand at the 3-on-5 boxplay on a turn over. Impressive! Unassisted.
AMBÜHL - 0:1
	23:56	HCD back on full strength.
	24:38	HCD has taken this over both defensively and offensively.
	26:41	FBK gets penalised for two minutes for too many players on ice. HCD with a new chance on the power play.
	27:40	Three reptile quick saves from Haugen on close range shots from Paulsson and Simion (HCD).
	28:42	FBK back on full strength.
	28:49	Johansson (FBK) had his teams best chance of this period in the slot but the puck went over the bar.
	32:30	Back and forth but not much happening right now.
	32:39	Ambühl with another good chance for HCD. He looked for the pass though and it was taken away.
	33:37	Power break.
	33:48	Goal for Davos! DARIO SIMION makes the lead for HCD one goal bigger. A long range shot but Haugen in the FBK net had bad sight through one of his defenders legs. Unassisted. 2-0
	34:17	Goal for Davos! MARC AAESCHLMANN makes it 3-0 after a great pass from Simion on a 2-on-1 break away. Huge advantage for HCD right now. Assisted by: Dario Simion.
AAESCHLMANN - 0:3
	35:13	FBK are frustrated and not very much is going their way. The passing is long gone and the scoring chances are easy to count.
	36:40	Jörg (HCD) with a break away, but Haugen manages to keep the score from getting even bigger.
		Today's attendance is 3312.
	37:39	EDIT: No penalty. The referee takes it back.
	39:07	Fantastic save by Genoni when Eriksson Ek (FBK) had, close to, an open net to score in.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
		This period completely belonged to HC Davos. The score could have been even bigger, actually. But a hockey game is at least 60 minutes. Can FBK turn this around or will HCD take their 3 points back to Switzerland after the next period? Stay tuned!
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
	43:23	HCD player Sciaroni gets penalised two minutes for slashing.
	44:07	Gulas (FBK) with a chance but a good save by Genoni.
	45:27	HCD back on full strength.
	47:00	Another HCD penalty, and power break. It's Aaeschlmann who gets penalised two minutes for tripping. Will FBK enter the goal sheet?
	47:25	Another HCD penalty. Now for highsticking. 5-on-3 for FBK with Ambühl in the penalty box.
	47:50	Amazing glove save by Dominik Has.. No, Genoni (HCD)!
	49:03	Forster (HCD) and Earl (FBK) both get penalised for roughing. Earl gets 2+2 and we play 4-on-4 for 22 seconds and then HCD gets the power play.
	49:21	Persson (FBK) with a break away but Genoni denies him.
The news team from Switzerland is wondering if Karlstad can come back after being behind 0:3. 2. Drittel vorbei: Färjestad – Davos 0:3* (Ambühl, Simion, Aeschlimann). Mal schauen ob die Schweden im Schlussdrittel antworten können. — TV Südostschweiz (@dobinidahai) August 20, 2015
	51:03	FBK back on full strength.
	52:27	Puck out of play by Brejcik (HCD) and FBK gets another chance at the power play. Two minutes.
	53:26	Goal for Davos! MARCUS PAULSSON scores against his old teammates in the box play after a fantastic pass by Andres Ambühl!
PAULSSON - 0:4
	55:53	HCD keeps attacking. FBK are standing on their heels right now.
	56:28	FBK player Earl gets a two minute penalty for slashing.
	58:04	Less than two minutes to go.
		Game over.
		The first period was close, but after HCD scored their first goal they pretty much owned the game to the final whistle. 4-0 is a great result for them to start the CHL season with. I want to thank you for following this live report! Good night from Karlstad. (22:12:32)
Another clean sheet. Another clean sheet as @HCD_News win 4–0 against @farjestad_bk on the road. #CHL — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) 20. Srpen 2015
"A terrible start in the CHL for Färjestad, but Davos were brutally good. No doubt about that." En dyngdålig inledning på #CHL för Färjestad men Davos gör det jävligt bra, inget snack om saken... #fbkse — Uffe (@UlfClasson) 20. Srpen 2015
